The ultimate top ten countdown of tennis WAGS
DON'T be fooled - tennis wags, or TWAGS, aren't a modern invention.
LOVE MATCH: Fred Perry - the last British player to win Wimbledon - was often linked with Hollywood leading ladies, including Marlene Dietrich
Fred Perry - the last British Wimbledon winner in 1936 - was one of the leading bachelors of his day and his off-court romances were sensationalised in the world press.
Perry had a relationship with Hollywood actress Marlene Dietrich, was engaged to British actress Mary Lawson and married American film star Helen Vinson.
Forget the royal box, where Sir Cliff and Tarby are still hanging out, it is the players' box that really interests us.
From Irina Davydenko, Brooklyn Decker, Mirka Federer, Sara Foster, Stacey Gardner, Bec Hewitt, Maria Kirilenko, Jelena Ristic, Kim Sears but starting with that most quintessential of tennis WAGS, Mrs. Timothy Henman, here's our modern day selection.
Browse through and then leave your comments - or any of your own suggestions.

10. Lucy Henman (wife of Tim Henman)
Okay, so the days of nerve-wrecking Henman five setters at Wimbledon may be gone but the memory of Tiger Tim lives on at SW19.
And wherever there was Tim, there was wife Lucy - the quintessential English rose who set the standard for the modern-day tennis wag.

Ah the wags are always with
Ah the wags are always with us!
Err... how has Pete Sampras'
Err... how has Pete Sampras' wife fallen off this list, know he is only knocking around the old boys tour, but Brigette Wilson was and still is the benchmark for tennis WAGs...
An excellent article
An excellent article highlighting the parts of tennis coverage that will probably be sorely missed now we have the roof for uninterrupted tennis.
Great Article
A great, light-hearted article here. Very amusing to read. Yes yes Mirka may well be a spectacular wife, loyal, clever, beautiful and kind...but no.1 WAG?? Seriously, take a good look at #3, Tommy Haas's girlfriend...thats marriage material right there
Mirka
Mirka deserves the #1 spot she is, by far, the most natural of all these women and has stood by her man for 9 years +. Her sweet look is by far the most attractive in my opinion.
Mirka Federer
This list completely based on looks. It takes more than that to be Tennis wife or Girlfriend.
Mirka shoould have topped this list because of her committment and support to the Great Roger Federer. According to me, this list is too model and looks oriented and is isn't just and right.
Mirka should be number one,
Mirka should be number one, they have been together for 9 and a half years, long before he had a single title. She's got inner and outer beauty.

Where's Steffi
In the words of Alan Partridge - lovely stuff. However, what about Steffi Graf? Snozzle aside I was always a fan
Fake models
So many plastic looking fake American models. When will men learn that these vacuous bimbos aren't all they are made out to be.
MIRKA is really the best!!!
Mirka deserves to be #1 because she is the best wife that a tennis player can have!!!!
This was a list clearly
This was a list clearly compiled based on a subjective view of the individuals' looks. please.... Mirka deserves much more than that.

Mirka the Magnificent
I'm sure Mirka is wonderful, even if Roger took her on honeymoon to her monte carlo masters, the old romantic.
However, I'd rather be stuck on a desert island beach with mrs roddick.
Mirka number nine. Oh dear.
Mirka number nine. Oh dear. I also thought Rusedski had the better looking for the Lucys
True love
So what attracted Mrs Davydenko to her multi millionaire husband?
